From the hallway at the front, down a flight of stairs leads to the attached garage. It is currently just used for storage, but since the property has a separate double garage, this could be converted to an alternative use – perhaps a home gym or small annex-style accommodation.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms - Upstairs the four bedrooms are well-proportioned for family life. While aspects of the interiors present an exciting opportunity for modernisation if desired, it’s clear it has been a much-loved family home still in excellent condition. All the bedrooms enjoy scenic views, and the master benefits from fitted wardrobes and a three-piece en-suite featuring a walk-in corner shower, wash basin and WC.
The family bathroom is also presented in immaculate condition, with fully-tiled walls, a tiled-in bath, wash basin, WC and bidet. In addition to the family bathroom upstairs, there is also a large contemporary shower room on the ground floor which is fitted as a wet room, comprising a large walk-in shower, wash basin and WC.
Outside Space - In addition to the attached garage which offers extra storage space or scope for conversion, there is a large detached double garage with electric door, and turning space in front of the garage with enough space to accommodate up to three cars.
Behind the detached garage is a large space grounded by golden shale which receives a great amount of sun and is the perfect spot for a table and chairs to enjoy time socialising and al-fresco dining with family and friends – it's elevated position overlooking the neighbouring woodland gives it a truly unique, peaceful, and private setting. There is also a patio outside the conservatory which gives a pleasant place to enjoy your morning coffee while enjoying the sound of birdsong.
From the golden shale area, the garden extends down to a spacious lawn and rockery which enjoys more views of the surrounding greenery. It’s a good spot for gardening enthusiasts, and lawn provides space for the little ones to play safely.
